Collective Impact partnered with EPIC Mission to conduct a community needs assessment for EnAct Community Action, Inc. An Assessment Committee consisting of local and regional partners and other key stakeholders is being convened to provide general oversight and assistance for the project. Components of the Needs Assessment project included facilitation of planning sessions with a planning team, development of needs assessment survey instruments, secondary data collection and survey analysis, facilitation of county level community discussions and analysis of community discussion content, and preparation of the Needs Assessment Report. The Needs Assessment final report will outline strengths, challenges, needs, opportunities, and capacity existing in the service area of the organization. It will also be used to inform the development of a strategic plan for the agency.

Collective Impact worked with the City of Huntington, WV, the Huntington Police Department, Marshall University Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER), and other partners on the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI) grant. The City of Huntington, Huntington Police Department (HPD) is one of 11 entities in the nation to receive a Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI) planning grant focusing on data-driven crime prevention, reduction, and intervention in the City's downtown area. Collective Impact worked with partners to develop and guide a Cross-Sector Partnership in planning, research, engaging residents, businesses and other stakeholders, and developing a community-oriented crime reduction and economic development strategic plan to guide future efforts beyond the grant period. As part of the project, partners organized a "build a better block" community visioning and stakeholder engagement event in the downtown district of Huntington. See the local news story here.
